Spinzer Restaurant

This review is specifically for their dessert menu. Tried multiple times. Consistent Kulfi Faluda… Highly recommend if you are craving India style kulfi. Totally worth it.

Good snacks but I really wish they can improve the food presentation and the restaurant quality. Too messy and dirt everywhere. If they can improve on that then I’ll give my 5 stars upon return.

Really great place to get some snacks whenever you at the Devon area. The samosa, chaat, wraps, and sandwiches are soooo delicious. The bihari chatni roll is soo big and delicious. This place is always my stop to take home and enjoy.

Spinzer is the place to go for old school Pakistani snacks like Chaat and Samosa’s. Their Beef Bun Kabobs (Pakistani burgers) are awesome. Pappdi chaat they have is best in Devon. sweets and snacks are very flavorful. This is a typical Desi joint nothing fancy just some tables and chairs. But their service is good and friendly. Most importantly taste authentic.

They always have really good falooda and golla gunda (Pakistani sweets). The store it self needs some work. It is dirty but they do have sweets. Never tried their food but will one of these days.

EAT THE HUNTER BEEF OR HUNTER CHICKEN…
Those are GREAT sandwiches. They have a lot of things on the menu, all of which are good, even desserts, but those two sandwiches rock!!!
This place is a bit dirty… oh well!!! (O:

So I only had a pleasure of eating shaved ice aka Gola Ganda and wow. One of the best I’ve ever had. A lot of shaved ice for a very less price and awesome quality and taste. If you ever go to Devon then don’t forget to stop by. I’ll try their other items on the menu next time.

These guys have the best Fries on Devon! The uncle at the register is so kind and I respect him so much, I hate seeing him do work for me. Just a heads up, keep a tab on your order and prices, they mess up at times.
Their «Samosa chat» and «aloo samosa» are delicious, but I do think their bun kabob is overrated (Tahoora’s is better in my opinion). Their turkey sandwich is delicious but I don’t have anything to compare it too. If you’re craving a burger or something of that nature, this place is okay for that, some of the sandwiches on the menu are good, but not all. I would suggest you go in and ask for their most popular items and go off of that. BUT, if you’re craving biryani, you should go elsewhere.
Dine in experience is nothing special. No decoration or anything but that’s no big deal. You still got the families coming in.
one annoying thing is that they have a small cooler in the corner where everyone has to get their water from. I’m surprised they don’t have jugs because it gets annoying filling up 5 glasses of water while other people are waiting.

This is a small hole in the wall with a lot of really good stuff. I personally usually only get the haleem here and it is very very good. I recommend the beef. They make a lot of sandwiches and chaats which seem nice. Really though, try the haleem.

This place has the best fried foods Pakistani style and biryani and all sorts of sandwiches found in the old country

The food is good. The service is polite, dining in isn’t that great because of the décor but that’s not a big deal. More places should try to put out quality food like Spinzers.

If I had a choice I wouldn’t give ANY stars as their food is horrible and no customer service at all. I ordered a burger and they brought kfc chicken piece in a stale bun w/​one old slice of tomato and cost me $ 5. No sides or anything. I learned my lesson and would not recommend anyone to go through similar pain.

This place is supposed to have the best chaat, so we went!
Maybe it was because I’m not really a chaat girl, but I was pretty underwhelmed.
We also got:
Bun kabab: Standard desi-​style burger, their green chutney sauce overpowered it. (³⁄₅)
Chicken paratha roll: This was good, with a delicious paratha and a decent amount of chicken. But that food color green chutney again overpowered something that would’ve been great on it’s own. (⁴⁄₅)
Masala fries: Yum! Tasty, crispy, spicy. Similar to Tandoor Grill’s masala fries but 5x cheaper. (But let’s be honest, TG just takes normal fries and tops them with shan chaat masala too, and slaps a $ 6 price tag cuz it’s in Lincoln Park) (⁵⁄₅)
Beef paratha roll: Similar to the chicken roll, only the beef seemed really dry. Again with that sauce. (³⁄₅)
Chicken club: This sandwich made me laugh because it’s not a club sandwich at all. 3 pieces of white bread with shredded chicken, an omelet and some mayo in a sandwich. Surprisingly, it was the best tasting sandwich item we ordered. (⁴⁄₅)
The customer service was better than what could be expected on Devon, but the uncle really mixed up our order so check twice or thrice with him.
Overall, I’m underwhelmed by this place. With all the wonderful options on Devon ave., I don’t see myself coming back here.

Samosa Chat by itself earns this place 5 stars.
If you’re in the mood for a snack… you can’t go wrong with it. The place isn’t the type to bring your family to… if its a bunch of guys, sure no problem.
Gola Ganda also is real good to hit the sweet spot.

I should give this place no stars BUT I will give them 2 because they do have good food.
My personal favorites: Chicken Club Sandwich and Haleem.
Yes, they have a pest problem. I’ve heard about this issue from others but thought nothing of it until I saw roaches with my own eyes :(
They’re food is awesome but the roaches… no no no.

This is my first meal when I get off the plane in Chicago, every time I get off the plane in Chicago. You just don’t get those flavors and textures anywhere else ever.
1. Samosa Chaat is an explosion of flavors from sweet to bitter to tangy to spicy. I really have no way to describe it than that. It has definitely changed my life for the better.
2. Falooda. I dream of this weird concoction of rose ice cream, basil seeds, jello, and noodles. That combination is just not supposed to work. Swept me off my feet and I haven’t found any comparable falooda yet elsewhere in this country so I shall keep returning!

Samosa chat is sloppy yummy goodness.

I’ve been looking for a new place to get my desi snack fix ever since Tahoora’s quality took a dive. Spinzer being just few doors down, I’ve decided to check it out. Samosas were delicious, beef samosa was better than Tahoora, pakoras were good, and chai was decent. However, I’ve made a big mistake of trying their sweets. Big Mistake! Stale and gross are the only two words to describe it. Service was no better than other places, and I came out smelling like grease. I’m happy to say I’ve tried Spinzer, but for the time being Tahoora remains the only place I will continue to go for my desi snacks and sweets fix.

I took friends to Devon Ave for dinner last night, and we had a great meal at Bhabi’s kitchen. But we did not order samosas since they were 2 for $ 5. But after dinner I still wanted a samosa. So we walked around until we found this place. This looked like a good place to stop and get a samosa to go. We ordered 3 veggie samosas, and they were 75 cents a piece. They came with spicy and sweet sauce. But I thought they were delicious without the sauce. I think this was the highlight of my dinner.

The only reason I come to this place is for their Chicken Paratha Rolls. Strips of chicken are mixed with peppers, onions, and tomatoes and wrapped in a Paratha. And for about $ 3.95 per roll (with which you get these spicy flavored french fries), this is a hard to beat meal. I mean, one is good enough, and two will fill up any individual with a huge appetite.
You can even call in your order and pick it up in about 15 min. and the fact that everything is made fresh for you is a definite bonus!
I’ve never tried anything else, but it does look yummy.
